Azure Striker Gunvolt: A different perspective

Chapter 17

Gunvolt's POV

"So they have Joule...."

Gibril nodded silently.

"Any way to enter the fortress?"

Eliese shook her head. "If you hadn't noticed the green light in the sky, we can't get in. At all."

A wormhole then opened. We got ready to fight, but it was only Ashton and Kyle.

"Any news?" Ashton shook his head.

Kyle glanced at Ashton. "Couldn't you wormhole in?"

Ashton frowned, "I could before, but whatever that man did, I can't get a lock on the fortress."

I spoke up. "What about Teseo?"

Kyle lit up. "We'd have to find him, first."

Gibril spoke up. "What about Lumen?"

I turned. "What about her?"

Gibril spoke up, idea in her head. "If Ashton made a clone of Lumen, and she sang, could that make a lock on Joule?"

Ashton nodded. "I'll go prepare. It'll take a few days, though."

Timeskip 3 days. Juggernaut's POV

It's time. I wormhole travelled to Nova's office. I arrived in the middle of the room, a dozen guns at my head.

"Nova. Are you prepared to leave?"

Nova smiled, telling the men to lower the guns. "You sent the invitation?" I nodded. Nova smiled wider.

"And what, exactly, is keeping me from taking everything from you?"

I smirked back. "I'm the only thing in the world that can get there. I could walk now."

Nova nodded. "Let's go then." I teleported Nova to the fortress.

We appeared in a conference room. I turned to Nova. "To be clear, it is literally impossible for you to leave until I let you."

Nova nodded. I cleared my throat.

"The terms are as follows: You, Nova, give me all the resources I desire."

"I, Juggernaut, give you the Muse. Is this acceptable?"

Nova nodded, shaking my hand.

I gave a shark's grin.

"Septimal Synthesis." I whispered with a smile.

Nova smiled back. "Mind Shield."

My jaw fell in shock at the power he held.

Nova cleared his throat. "The agreement?"

Time for the backup plan.

My eyes glowed pink.

"Crystal Prison."

That same mind shield deflected my move.

....Backup-backup plan!

"Right, the agreement."
We shook hands, and at that moment, Joule walked in the room.

Nova grinned.

He then knelt down, and put a hand on her shoulder.

....Which triggered the trap.

The clone dissipated, and Nova was sent back where he came.

I sighed, then stumbled. Septima hasn't recharged yet.
